Research Interests:

My research interests are in transportation decision-making, statewide multimodal planning, safety, and rural intelligent transportation systems. My research efforts in transportation decision-making and multimodal planning stem from work for the National Science Foundation to develop a GIS based tool to aid in funding decisions by better utilizing both public participation and analytic tools. My research into rural ITS is in the integration of real-time weather and speed data to operate rural systems aimed at improving safety of rural roads during severe weather events.
